Second is the on top the receiver scope mounts are based on Savage Accutrigger not Remington. A very solid four stars here for the Franchi Momentum bolt-action rifle. I love it.

I have purchased about 12 different rifles in the sub-$500 price point over the last 3 years to test out for this review. I have the weather extreme in 25-05 that I purchased for a Pronghorn hunt topped with a Leupold VX6 HD. Im really interested in them but can hardly find a proper review of them. Do you have a suggestion for a backcountry hunting rifle that does well with heavy recoil? #1. All are captive so you wont lose them. The action is a Mauser type like Sako. What do you think of the French after some time? Also would be cool to see you do a semi-custom rifle (Bighorn action, prefit barrel, Ag composites stock, trigger tech, etc.) I bought the MarkV Weathermark LT in the .257 WBY. Style and Appearance * * * * So if I review it and love my copy, Id be convincing people to buy one and they very likely may not have the same experience. These areas are designed to provide purchase and ergonomic grip options for different shooting positions and styles, such as the five seen above. And based on my limited sample size, this budget rifle seems to prefer budget ammo. Though the forend wasnt perfectly centered coming closer to the left side of the barrel than the right side it was stiff enough that causing it to contact the free-floated barrel was difficult and wouldnt happen under most typical use. Sorry its been so long since I have followed up on this, but didnt want to post on this rifle till I had some time with it and straightened out a problem Ive been having with my scope. Know it is not a bolt action rifle, but how does the Henry Long Ranger stack up against these options? then killed three whitetail with it this past season. The rings are on a 30mm tube though, which has more surface area pressure from the rings to hold the scope in place.

I might just know about a new rifle coming in January 2023 that might change your mind, Awesome reviews Jim. Regards kjetil A B Strandengen. Franchi, the well-known maker of fine and affordable shotguns, unveiled an updated bolt gun in its Momentum Elite. The stock feels really cheesy. You havent included Winchester in your reviews. Its a good option for light cartridges, but the light weight and stock design dont make for a good match on heavy cartridges. I know its very high end but with a replaced hip and knee, I want anchored shots and believe that cartridge is a slight upgrade on the venerable 300WM. Im at a point that I can spend $1500+ for a hunting rifle. Pls recommend as I need a rifle under 1500 $ including Scope for shooting upto 600 Yards with cheaper ammo to practice more. I watched each individual rifles review from you and the best option under $350, but I would like to hear your feedback from either a new video or just through here about which of the 3 rifles you think is the best in that category since you havent put them head to head in that category. You know, turning ammo into noise kind of use. Any thoughts. Its like saying 300 Blackout isnt as effective as 300 WinMag. The stock is among the best I have ever used, its reasonably lightweight, excellent on accuracy, and the manufacturing quality is reliable. I would really like one in one of the 7mm flavors. Wish I discovered your content sooner and thankful for all your hard work. Your input has influenced some decision Im making for future hunting rifles and calibers.

Im looking for ANY rifle with a floor plate, metal, and wood but the only two I find are model 70, and browning. Since Bergara use a Rem 700 barrel (action and trigger too?) Luckily I was at a store on vacation that let me handle both. 1) the quality from rifle to rifle Good read. I knew an unknown secret that they did not know, its called grease and oil. A 60 degree bolt lift that makes second fast shots from the shoulder a complete impossibility. Thank you for your time. Love your reviews. some of us realize we would be charged a certain premium. Jim. Why no ones talk about the sakos in the states?? I preferred the action on the FME a lil bit over the CVA, but I could not get over how every Franchi had stock contact somewhere along the barrel. A fairly vertical pistol grip offers comfortable control from most any shooting position. Along with it is 2-position safety that . Helping the Franchi Momentum turn in great groups well, helping the shooter do his or her part better is a wonderful factory trigger. There are so many other options to consider, but hopefully, that gives you a solid starting place if youre looking for a premium hunting rifle. It is aggravating that the stock hugs the barrel on one side, but it doesnt contact on mine. I wish more gun writers would be as informative.

Went on my first hunt (elk) this October. Hello Jim. a few few hundred cycles smoothed it right up. PS. Ruger precision is really heavy for hunting, but a cool rifle. FRUSTRATING. I might add I have never found any real advantage with a short action rifle either. We watch all your videos on YouTube. Hi Jim, Overall, the rifle is kinda heavy so itd be nice to reduce recoil a bit. Same for Austria and Glock. Savage 110? Its a crisp, clean, single-stage trigger with no slack or take-up and a nice break. Hi Jim, I love your reviews and think you are the best reviewer I have come across.

I know I have expediencies it. BarrelLength: 22 inches They look standard, dont include fluting on the (rather beefy) bolt or the (rather beefy) barrel, the action and barrel are just blued, the trigger is fine but not outstanding, the action is quite smooth but not as smooth as a Tikka. Very impressed. He is a well-known entrepreneur, having started many successful online brands, and lives in St George, Utah. And like most of the rest of the world for that matter. Thats unfortunate because theyre chamberimg it in 7PRC. Would you please review the a CZ 600 Alpha? As you can see I am a gun collector and have not used my 7 mm Mag. Thanks again and I look forward to future content. I had settled on this for my next rifle based on the Weatherguard coating, price and MOA accuracy guarantee but now it seems we may never see them. Thank you. Wish you wouldve done a review on Mauser 18 or sauer 100 as I became interested in those two guns and did ultimately pick up a Mauser this year based on some other reviews. Would love a Tikka, but your notes on them provide the info for not making the cut. Or is the lighter, cheaper, better looking cva more applicable? $599.99.

Most of the videos I see you get two shots touching and a flier on the mod 70. Hey Jim! Ive tried a lot of others, including Hornady PH (178gr I think) and Hornady Match 168 gr, and they are lucky to shoot 4 inch group with huge point of impact change. If a close friend asked me what hunting rifle to buy at each price point, these would be my recommendations: If you dont want to read this entire post, jump to the section for rifles in your budget. Its an EXCELLENT do-all caliber. Just hasnt been available. It shoots as well as some of my full blown custom rifles I have thousands invested in. It would be a tiny bit more expensive, but really not much. Excellent 3/4 MOA accuracy with Hornady Precision Hunter ammo, QD Flush cups and picatinny embedded in the stock, Available in all the most popular chamberings for custom rifles (including 7 PRC), I personally would have preferred that they went with a more modern vertical grip, I wish there were an arca rail on the bottom of the forend for connecting to a tripod. Great Content. Do you still recommend them. Amway if anyone has one opinions please. guns.com Buy. Is it felt more? I am looking for a semi-auto gun for hunting, been looking at the Savage MSR 10 in 6.5 CM and the Smith and Wesson M&P 10 in 6.5 CM (I would really love to see an AR10 in 6.5 PRC). The plasticky stock is Pure junk. Been looking at the franchi momentum has anyone got this rifle ? Jim, Im down to the Savage 110 Ultralite and the Christensen Ridgeline.

Sure, its not always possible. The internal box magazine holds four rounds. The Vanguard does come in quite a few cartridges, but retail stores will only give them so many spots on the shelves, and since Weatherby is always pushing its own cartridges, its common to not find the chambering youre looking for without special ordering it. Is there a far better option for the money? The molded-in checkering is clean and sharp but in no way uncomfortable. BTW unless youre reloading, the vast majority of factory 6.5 Creedmoor is quite a bit faster than the same projectile in 6.555. An XBolt in 6.8 Western may be a great option. Ive got a lot of autoloader pistol and AR experience, but my only bolt action is an old Mosin Nagant. I might add for a hunting rifle the 6.5 Swede is superior to the 6.5 Screedmore. Still, its the 2020 Waypoint in my opinion. I cannot give a better example than that. Great comment, Frank. $699.00. Moreover, the firearm boasts an excellent light and smooth trigger. Theres something cool coming. Most of the great rifles youve taken time to make us salivate for do not make left handed models.

Can Italian go to a local gun store and buy one (or any firearm) without a government license or permission? Im a big fan of Sig pistols and never had an issue with QC. Its typically priced around $950, but for $100 extra dollars over the $850 budget, you get an adjustable mini chassis. The budget rifle video and cartridge wars are among my fav on YouTube for hunting alone. Gunwerks builds great guns, but I just dont see them as being THOUSANDS of dollars better than a Fierce, Weatherby, Seekins, etc. Maybe not, but I have been caught in down pores and all the morons that were with me came back to the car with rust on their guns but not me. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Capacity: 4+1 Thanks for your time Jim, love the channel! Seems like a solid gun for the money and straight pull seems fun. XBolt Pro is a good gun but needs a new trigger.
